Orthopedic

The demand for orthopedic nurses is likely to increase, based on the increase of the aging population in the United States. Older populations are at greater risk for arthritis, fall-related injuries, joint replacements, and other orthopedic problems. As an orthopedic nurse, you'll practice in a wide range of settings, including acute care, rehabilitation units, and with homecare agencies, providing care as it relates to musculoskeletal diseases and disorders.
